The one I'm familiar with goes back to the days of punched cards when all data streams, including OCL had to end with a card punched with a "/" in column 1 and an "*" in column two. So when you were writing scripts on the board you would always say, "... ending with a /*" When Tom taught his classes, he would always say, "... ending with a /*" and then correct himself, saying, "I'm sorry I meant /Nathan" All the students were "know it alls" and didn't want to look stupid so no one asked the question until the FOURTH day. He replied, "Oh, I'm so glad you asked. IBM has always been a very patriotic company and they have decided to honor some of our great American heroes. So they have changed the "/*" to commend the life of that great American patriot, Nathan Hale - who said, "I regret that I have only one * (ass to risk) for my country."

Could somebody please tell me whether it is about me? :-) The only time I ever used punched cards was to build a "house of cards" when I was 10 years old! (My brother was in IT long before I was.)

I didn't hear it (first) from Dave, but I have used it for at least 30 years. I heard it from Tom Neuman - at the time he was head of IBM education in Milwaukee - later went on to be an IBM Branch Manager in Iowa. I still have a page of his jokes. Dave and I go back at least to the 70s - and we can also attest to his vast MAPICS and manufacturing knowledge. I think I even have some autographed copies. Are they worth more?

It's always been a favorite! In fact, I still use it. Seriously, thanks for the kind words. I have not done any direct consulting with MAPICS users for a couple years but I still like to stay in touch. And I still have a few copies of those books taking up space in my closet.
